So I the SGH-I537 model (AT&T) and I'm running 4.3 on my phone. I Have it rooted with the methods listed the in general form and the root works great, although I can't find a guide to install ROMs for anyone running 4.3 just 4.2.2 I tried to follow the method in the 4.2.2 thread but quickly determined that it wouldn't work do too my baseband ending in different characters than what was provided (1537UCUBML2) If anyone knows of a thread or can link me to some information to help me get my phone to stock 4.4 that'd be great, thank you in advance!

You can use SafeStrap (3.71), a 4.3 TouchWiz-based ROM of your choice, and the ML2 modules. You should read more about SafeStrap to understand how it works and its limitations before you do anything, it's in the development section.

@Devo7v have you been able to get safestrap 3.71 to create a slot? Mine says 0 free space. I sent my recovery.log to hashcode and he says there is an issue with it not reading internal storage space. However I saw a guy over in a gs4a android development thread say it is working for him. Can you confirm or deny it does indeed work?

I'm still on MF3 (I don't see the benefits of 4.3 yet), so I can neither confirm nor deny 3.71 working or failing. It looks like @bigfdaddy2 has it almost working, so you might want to try PM'ing him.

Samsung s4 root question
AT&T just replaced my S4 because of a constant reboot problem. The phone was rooted I used Wondershare to backup the bad phone. My question I have this new S$ and would like to have it rooted and also restore my app backup from Wondershare which is on my laptop. Is there anyone out there that can assist and certainly I will pay, just want someone reputable. Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated. Chuck
Hey, sorry, don't know how you can restore it! Although you might get a little more attention if you make a thread for this in the Q&A section. Hope that you get answers! Good luck with phone #2!

Hey XDA!
I recently purchased an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. It has MF3 and is rooted (obviously). I installed SafeStrap earlier this morning and was looking for custom roms to put onto my phone. However, I was unable to find any for the Active version. I have seen plenty for the regular s4, but none for mine. Do you guys know of any that I could use? Or a better question would be is it even possible? I dont think I can put the roms for the regular s4 on but correct me if im wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Hey @br0adband did you read that we can flash stock based 4.2.2 gs4 Roms for our actives? Its only a matter of adding the two physical menu and back buttons. I am anxiously awaiting more people to try and verify. If I get brave I will attempt it after work today.

Not yet. I'm a sucker for touchwiz though, so I'll give it a try in a couple of days. aosp has too much black and blue coloring for me. I tried shostock first because that's what I had on my s2, and I loved it.

I am sorry that if I may just be too worry about my device but I think everyone should be the real question I am asking is whether there are any current roms that are working with the Samsung galaxy s4 active AT&T (i537) F3, That is the phone I have, its running Geohot Root and Safestrap 6.3 and can not wait to hear that Task650 is working for it, That would be my perfected phone!

as I think that
OPPO kind of ruined color rom and I do not want to use it anymore because of it not being ready for daily use, I would like to ask you folks which custom rom is the best in your opinion. Therefore I would like to know what the most positive and most negative aspects of each custom rom are so that I can compare them.

First of all wrong thread secondly you should be fine if anything you may get little errors but doesn't hurt to try just remember to back up current rom

Your good just letting you know because mostly no one usely replies lol in wrong thread post and also the bootloader shouldn't cause any problems with any roms as I have mf9 on my phone without Knox counter and have flash many roms the only thing that might give you issues is modem most roms work better with the same base and modem stick to that and you'll be fine

Yes it will install and work just fine. Please contact a mod to have this thread deleted or moved to q&a. I can confirm that it will work and is a very stable daily driver
This should be changed to Q&A or the Negalite thread, BUT thanks cause this was something I was looking for and couldnt find anywhere else.
I've been digging around for a while without finding anything conclusive - am I correct in my assumption that there are no custom ROMs that will work on the i537 with the 4.4.x kernel?

Only TouchWiz-based ROMs will work on the i537 because the bootloader is locked. Do some research on SafeStrap.

Okay, I found out that safestrap is a program that lets you load a ROM side by side with your current one. Now what?

Search and read a lot more about what SafeStrap is, how it works, and how to flash ROMs. If you mess something up you could end up permanently bricking your phone. All the questions you have asked and are inevitably going to ask have already been answered, you just need to do a little searching and you'll be able to find everything you need.

Yeah, I got that much going. I just can't seem to locate any ROMs for the S4 Active on 4.4.2, they're all for the regular S4. Let me clarify that this is the i537 Active.

That is correct. You need to read a bit more about how SafeStrap works on the i537, but basically you can use the regular AT&T S4 ROMs on the i537, you just have to flash the appropriate modules afterward. It's all explained in the SafeStrap thread and a couple of threads in the general section.
